Ok so I have an older intel 80 gb ssd it had write speeds around 54 read around 200 it's been my boot drive and has housed most of my often used programs for some time, I decided to get a new ssd for space and it has noticibly faster read and write speeds (I don't remember exactly how much faster but it was at least double on the write) I had planned in putting my wife's photoshop and illustrator on this drive and letting her do all her graphics work on it but my question is, is it going to constantly be slowed down by the os drive? Am I looking at a noticible performance increase if I go to the trouble of making the new ssd the boot drive? If she ran photshop and illustrator off of it is it still going to be accessing the os drive all the time and such?
Other stats for the machine, i7 920 16 gbs ram hd 7870 basically the machine is fast and I'm happy with it, just curious if it makes sense to do a wipe and reinstall
thanks!
